There are only a few vehicles that can be used in place of a small fleet of cars, and the 2009 Acura MDX is one of the best of them. For starters, the MDX doubles nicely as a luxury sedan. The front leather-trimmed power seats both coddle and support you, plus their heating function is a godsend when winter's arctic blasts hit.
